Felina
The Felina was the brothel of Monteriggioni in Tuscany, Italy. It served to attract visitors from near and far and contributed to the city's economy.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
Owned by a rich merchant who wished to remain anonymous, the brothel was raided and most of its employees slain during the Siege of Monteriggioni in early 1500. Abandoned in the aftermath, the Felina was restored by the Mentor of the Italian Assassins, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, when he returned to Monteriggioni a few years later.[2]
By the early 21st century, the Felina was still standing and its exterior remained mostly unchanged from how it looked in the 16th century, though it is unclear if the brothel remained operational.[3]
In September 2012, Ezio's descendant Desmond Miles relived his genetic memories in the Animus and experienced how Ezio had restored the brothel by investing in its renovation.[1] Later that month, Desmond and his Assassin cell arrived in Monteriggioni to continue their search for Ezio's Apple of Eden. During his stay in Monteriggioni, Desmond explored the city and discovered Ezio's belt on the roof of the Felina. He then brought it back to the Sanctuary alongside other artifacts found across the city.[3]
